WTF is wrong with these people? No belief is granted respect by default and no belief should be immune from mockery. Such over sensitivity over a picky observation drives me crackers. Get over yourself and tell your god to do the same - you're fucking pathetic.

Katy Perry has not blasphemed because she doesn't believe in this brand of shit (although she does believe an alternative). An opposing petition should be started to counter this bollocks and to show how many people think these precious whimperers should get a grip and get over themselves.

He says at 1:15 in the video there's a pendant with Allah written, I just watch it once, the whole video: I didn't see Islam anywhere in it, and at exactly 1:15 is showing Perry's face when she's singing. Right after that is a pile of sand with something in it, a pendant with a jewel...I didn't see no "Allah" symbol.

You know who these particular Muslims remind me of? Gangbangers in the US. You even say, look, or what not toward them, or they perceive you're doing that whether you are not, they take the whole situation and make it violent or make it to where it would lead to violence all because they feel disrespected.

I always thought Christians were the most sensitive of people but I'm thinking Muslims of today hold that trophy.

This is the same song that drove the Christian fundies bugnutty when she performed it at the Grammys using a Goth theme instead of pseudo-Egyptian:

So now everybody in the music industry knows: poke the religious nutters in some incredibly minor way (from the perspective of anyone outside their bubbles of delusion) and get lots of free media attention plus hits on your YouTube videos. It's an Illuminati plot, I tell ya!

Also: I wonder if the Christian fundies feel any cognitive dissonance when they find themselves alongside the Muslim fundies complaining about her videos...

All religious people are fragile when it comes to their beliefs. But I've noticed muslims are the most fragile of them all. They seem to think they have some right to not be offended. And they seem to be eager to be offended. As a result they are constantly going to pieces over the dumbest things. It is a wonder to me their religion has survived this long.

I hypothesize that fundamentalist Islam's "ease of offense" is one of its main survival strategies. If you get enough fundies in some area, and they all go HULK SMAAASH! every time they encounter something that's not-them, then they will tend to stamp out ideas, cultures, etc. that compete with Islam. Same with Christianity, whenever it has enough political power. It's worked pretty well so far. Maybe an era of easy global communication will overload the impulse and make it self-destruct. We'll see...

And by "constantly going to pieces..." you mean committing or threatening murder on the source of offense, or the nearest proxy available.

It may not make it self-destruct, but it should make it much more noticeable, same as how it's eroding censorship and making atrocities much more noticeable.
